Bob Dylan’s Gospel Years: What Really Happened
Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan has long been an enigmatic figure. Perhaps the most controversial period in his career was between 1979 and 1981, when the Jewish-born Dylan began espousing Christianity. In Trouble in Mind Clinton Heylin – Dylan’s most meticulous biographer- argues that this period was one of the most creative and generative of Dylan’s life. Heylin documents the influences in Dylan’s life, such as the Vineyard Christian Fellowship, that led to his brief and highly visible conversion.
Reviews and endorsements of the publication include:
“Trouble in Mind documents the tours and recording sessions with an obsessive detail that, at the very least, encourages the reader to come at it all afresh. . . . his interrogation of what it was all for is, to fans like me, highly illuminating.” —NewStatesman
